It is usually life-changing surgery and most patients report improvements in outcome measures scoring pain, function and quality of life. However, around 14%-53% of TKR patients have some level of persisting knee pain, 7%-50% of TKR patients report poor knee function, and mean published dissatisfaction rates range between 15% and 30%.
